Georgia DA Fani Willis claims 'improper' relationship accusations are based on race ...But Doesn't Deny the Affair
Fulton County, Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who brought charges against former President Donald Trump on election interference, claims allegations brought against her of having an "improper" romantic relationship with a prosecutor were made because they are Black.
Court documents filed earlier this month say Willis hired special prosecutor Nathan Wade, her alleged partner, to prosecute Trump and benefited financially from the relationship in the form of lavish vacations the two went on using funds his firm received for working the case.
For the first time since the allegations were made, Willis spoke on the matter at the Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta on Sunday.
"They only attacked one," she said. "First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’
"But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one," Willis asked.
Willis had remained mum in public on the matter, though she still has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations brought against her and Wade, who was involved in bringing an indictment against Trump for election interference.

DIN: את חטאי אני מזכיר היום
I actually grew up without a TV, we didn't even have a record player, I bought a record player from the monies I received at my Bar-Mitzvah. We had a non-frum neighbor who would invite us on Motzei Shabbos to watch "The Honeymooners" It was live. This brings back some fond memories from my childhood., and so when I read that someone who I had known for decades, dies, it reminds me of my own mortality, and that no one will live forever.
Joyce Randolph, who starred in the 1955 sitcom “The Honeymooners,” has died. She was 99.
Randolph reportedly died peacefully Saturday in her sleep in her New York City home due to the effects of old age, her son told TMZ.
According to the outlet, the last surviving member of the hit television show had been in hospice care at the time of her death and was unable to walk.
The Michigan native, who was born in 1924, got her acting start when she moved to New York City in 1950 to star in a Broadway show called “Ladies Night in a Turkish Bath” before moving into TV.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Randolph was initially tapped to star in the iconic television show after Jackie Gleason, who played Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden on the show, saw her doing a commercial for chewing gum and asked her to be a part of his variety show “Cavalcade of Stars.”
Randolph would later star in the show’s spinoff series “The Honeymooners” as Trixie Norton, alongside Art Carney as sewer worker Ed Norton and Audrey Meadows as Alice Kramden. The series ran for 39 episodes before cancellation.
“We just played ourselves,” Randolph once told The New York Times regarding the show in 2012. “Nobody told us to characterize in any way. It was learn those lines and go on.”
Despite the show’s very short run, it was announced in 2016 that “The Honeymooners” would be getting a modern-day reboot on CBS — though there have been no updates since the announcement.
In 2017, Randolph was spotted walking the red carpet of a musical version of the iconic television during a brief stint at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse.
Since news of her death broke, several social media users have taken to posting tributes to the late actress.
“It’s the end of an era,” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Another chapter of the golden age of television officially comes to a close with the passing of Joyce Randolph.”
“So long Trixie, and thank you,” a second fan posted.
“Farewell to the last star of one of the greatest and most enduring sitcoms of all time,” a third person commented.
The late actress is survived by her son, Randy, who revealed that his mother will be cremated and that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Randolph’s memory should donate to the Entertainment Community Fund.
House Speaker Mike Johnson calls to fire any federal workers who take part in planned ‘walkout’ over Gaza policy
Federal employees “deserve” to be fired if they participate in a planned walkout to protest President Biden’s handling of Israel’s war against Hamas, House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday.
The Louisiana Republican made the statement on X, commenting on an AL-Monitor news article that reported workers in at least 22 agencies plan to protest Biden’s policy involving Gaza by joining the work stoppage Tuesday.
“Any government worker who walks off the job to protest U.S. support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers,” Johnson posted. “They deserve to be fired.”
Johnson vowed to work with fellow Republican, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, to “ensure that each federal agency initiates appropriate disciplinary proceedings against any person who walks out on their job.”
Ben Gvir: Our Questions Make Gantz and Gallant Uncomfortable
Following a Saturday night report that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant had stormed out of a war cabinet meeting when his aides were asked to leave, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir attacked Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz in an interview on the popular right-wing news panel, “The Patriots.”
Ben Gvir’s main point was that Gantz and Gallant don’t like it when fellow ministers ask them tough questions during cabinet meetings.
“I’ll put it this way,” Ben Gvir told the right-wing Channel 14 panel, “There are those who try to silence us. It’s no secret that we ask questions, myself, Miri Regev, Smotrich, too. And unfortunately, there is someone out there who wants to discourage us from asking questions.”
“Yes, I have questions,” Ben Gvir added. “I ask the Chief of Staff. I’m not slamming or arguing or confronting, but it is my duty as an elected official to ask questions.”
Ben Gvir was also referencing a recent confrontation between Minister Orit Strook and the Head of the IDF Strategy Division, Major General Eliezer Toledano, Strook inquired regarding news reports that some Air Force pilots refuse to attack targets in Gaza on consciousness grounds. Toledano rebuked the minister, telling her it was a “horrible question.” (The Left Hates Orit Strook, the Woman Who’s Been Attacking the Conceptzia Since the Expulsion)
